[QUOTE="Kalidrev, post: 5037818, member: 84005"] KD, I disagree that this proposal would make Group Mind worthless. The racial ability gives one-on-one, two-way communication. The second gives the entire group one-on-group, multi-way communication. We may have played the Telepathy "fast and loose" in Trouble in Moonwatch, but I do not believe I ever had Lan use telepathy to relay IC information to all party members at once during a battle. Yes, out of battle I had Lan relay information to all party members, but I simply neglected (or chose not, depending on how you see it) to say that I was relaying it one-on-one to each member (mostly for brevity's sake). If you can supply a time that I did this in combat, then I apologize for my mistakes. Like you, I do not believe that the Telepathy racial ability should be used to facilitate conversation between all party members at once (at least until the Group Mind feat has been taken by the kalashtar in the party). It would be nice if we had a concrete answer from WOTC on this one, but since most people disregard what Customer Service says anyways (ask twice, get three different answers and all that), the ruling will have to fall on the judges. I resent the fact that you think I am trying to FORCE DMs to do anything. I simply want a resolution to a question that at least you and I have had. I, too, tend to be rather rules aware, but when no explicit rules have been presented on a particular item, I do not believe that implicit rules can be or should be used as written in stone. This is because, as has been proven by this discussion, there are multiple interpretations of how this racial ability should work. Neither side is right or wrong, currently, as there has been no official ruling on this by either WOTC or our Judges. Once this happens, then we can both play by the rules. [/QUOTE]
